GOP Senate Candidate Says He Wants To ‘Come Home To A Home-Cooked Dinner At Six Every Night,’ Not To A ‘Nail-Biting Manophobic Hell-Bent Feminist She Devil’

GOP Senate candidate for Missouri Courtland Sykes has outraged feminists and women’s rights activists after he released a statement on Facebook titled “Do you favor Women’s Rights?” where he said he expects to “come home to a home-cooked dinner at six every night – one that she fixes and one that I expect one day to have daughters learn to fix after they become traditional homemakers and family wives”.

Explaining his view on women’s rights, Sykes focused on his daughters, claiming he wanted them to be good old obedient housewives instead of “nail-biting manophobic hell-bent feminist she devils”.

“I don’t want them to grow up into career obsessed banshees who forego home life and children and the happiness of family to become nail-biting manophobic hell-bent feminist she devils who shriek from the tops of a thousand tall buildings they think they could have leaped over in a single bound – had men not ‘suppressing them’.”

In light of recent questions regarding my views on Women's Rights, attached is my full statement from September 2017.

Sykes condemned the “mean-spirited radical feminists,” who made up the “radical feminists’ crazed definition of modern womanhood” “to suit their own nasty, snake-filled heads.”

He also argued that “millennial women voters despised Hillary [Clinton] and cost her the election,” because they “looked at her personal life’s wreckage and didn’t want to become like her.”

The conservative candidate is running for two-term Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill’s Senate seat in the November general election.

Sykes had also been condemned for posting a photo Sunday on Facebook likening Sen. McCaskill to Disney villain Ursula from “The Little Mermaid” and Hillary Clinton to Maleficent from “Sleeping Beauty.” The photo also compares Sen. Elizabeth Warren to Maleficent in its dragon form. The caption of the photo read: “Democrats dressing for the jobs they want.”

“I would show the GOP but it’s hard to draw pond scum,” wrote another.

Sykes’ latest Facebook post, drawing on how he views women, was posted only a few days after President Donald Trump’s one-year anniversary of his inauguration. On the anniversary, tens of thousands of people took to streets to participate in women’s rights marches across the country to show the world and the president that they remember his atrocities and that they are going to fight for their rights.

The Women’s March of Missouri Facebook page commented on Sykes’ post, saying: “You, sir, are ridiculous. Go back to the stone age.”

Sykes has claimed that he plans to run his campaign in the model of President Trump’s presidential campaign, that is, promoting a wall along the Mexican border and having anti-abortion, pro-gun, anti-climate change and anti-LGBT stances.
